one Of the commonplace brown-stone
houses Of fashionable New York. The
fat roof had been covered with a mar
row slated flooring Potted plants and
shrubs in boxes delighted the eye, re-
lieved the sharp angles of the caves, and
bid the chimneys. a large marquee,
such as we see ON country lawns, pro-

easy-chairs, hammOcks, two or three
small bamboo tables, and multitude
OF Chinese lanterns made the roof seem
a lit Of fairyland.

Lives Strangely Jeopsrdized.

A Bessener Mich telegram says /;
The regular passenger train to Milwau-
kee was crowded with people Monday
night and tho conductor found it ne
cessary to stop the train in order to
collect fares. While the train was at q
standstill wild engine and caboose
ran into the rear sleeper, setting ire to
il and throwing several coaches from
the track. and five persons were injured.
The widest excitement prevailed on
the train. There was general rush OF
passengers for the doors, but they
were all found 10 be locked, and it was
necessary to force them open before
any could escape.
Nearly 800 people were on board, IN
GLIDING large number OF women. A
number Of the latter tainted during the
excitement. Some of the passengers
and trainmen succeeded in eytinguish-
ing the fire in the sleeper before the
flames could spread TO the coaches.

An Eyieiion at Bodyae.


Then occurred the most pltheti,
scene vet witnessed in connection with
Colonel O'Callaghan's crusade. There
was hush inside the cottage while
second room was being forced, and The
wife was helped out while the tears
streamed down her face, and ono by

babies from their little home
and laying them at Their weep
ing mothers feet, literally and posi-
lively in the dit OF the roal. 1t was
a scene that should be rehemsed over
and over again to every Unionist in
England till there is not one of them
left to glory in the recreant and Tory
cheers that veneer the dirty and ac-
cursed works. be is rendering possible.
Michael MacnamTa, his wife, and
eight children had 40 supper last night,
not even the price OF enough Indian
meal to make straboat for them.
There were a good many moist eyes on
that green lane wlen Father Murphy
cried these facts aloud in everybodys
hearing, telling Macnamara that he
was well rid of las heaitless and tyran-
nous landlord, FOR that now he was bet
fer OF than ever he was before, pro-
missing him that he should not want

PARTICULAR BRIDEGROOMs.
eueer Questions which Intervene
nefore the Knot Is Tied.


4 clergyman, the vicar OF PitsmOor,
has been speaking on the modes Of mar
riage in and near Sheffield He states
that people are there married in patches !;
that the bridegroOms almost invariably
get the rings too small, and have at
times to lick the lady's delicate little
finger to induce the stubborn ring %
move en-. II seems TO be no uncom-
mon thing to find that the ring is the
difficulty through its presence or al
sence. "Then, again, says the vicar,
"wben they come to that import mt
part OF the marriage service where the
minister asks the man if he will have
this woman to be his welded wife the
man viii not unfrosuently turn to the
woman and say, wit tha' black my
boots p and the woman will invaril-
bly, say, Il will and tho man then
rojoins, Now, tha'st said il, and he
holds her to her word. Such are York
shire manners"
A reverend canon Of the Church re-
lates that on one OCCASION it fell TO his
LOT to marry his footman to his cook.
The footmin would persist throughout
the service in putting his finger to his
forehead every tins his master adj
stressed him in accordance with custo n.
The reverend gentleman demonstrated
in On undertonc. "Dont touch your
forehead, John, but say the words aitsr
me-" Then aloud " Wilt thou take
this woraaa?" etc. John. bearing in
mind the Wears hint, replied, CATER

burst into laughter.

A WOMAN IN WHITE.

"Do your men ever see unusual
sights in the tunnel Fl"
Every rarely, as far as | know. Bnt
once the gang who were inspecting 1t
at midnight saw a sight that made them
think for time that the tunnel was
haunted. Just wait a minute and Ill
call one of the men who was IN the
party and saw the sight"
The man the superintendent brought
in was one of his assistants in the sig
nal-tower across the track.
YES" he said, Il was one OF those
who saw the ghost. 1t was very dark
night, and the tunnel was full of damp,
smoky air. Our lanterns and torches
would light only short distance ahead
OF us, and we were unable to see any
thing of the tunnel lights. We were
going toward the west end, and were
fairly we'll along, when one of the men
suddenly dropped his torch and said
he had seen ghost ahead of us on our
track. We didn't believe him, OF
course, though he vowed he had
caught sight for an instant in the
thick gloom OF q woman in white.
That he believed he had seen
something OF the kind was evil
dent, for be was scared half to death.
